Under the terms of the agreement, Jacobs is providing PMC services for both inside battery limits (ISBL) and outside battery limits (OSBL). The ISBL services include a new lube oil unit, a new sulfur complex, a new hydrogen manufacturing unit, and an expansion of the propane de-asphalting unit.

Officials did not disclose the contract value,
instead noting that the overall expansion project cost is estimated
at approximately $1 billion.

Jacobs' office in Leiden, Netherlands, is managing the
overall project in collaboration with
offices in Al Khobar, Saudi Arabia and other locations.

"Jacobs is delighted to continue our partnership with Luberef
by working on this significant project at the Yanbu refinery," said Jacobs vice
president Bassim D. Shebaro. "After our successful FEED
efforts, we welcome the opportunity to continue to support
Luberef's production of higher-grade clean
fuels."
